How much time will it take for me to crack PCS exam?

Preparation for PCS exam is on the same pattern as for IAS. Nowadays, most of the PSCs follow the same pattern in pre-exam. In Mains exam, most of the major Hindi belt states introduced CSAT pattern in Mains (only GS Paper, no optional). The major difference is the level of the question in pre-exam compare to the IAS exam. In most of the states, pre-exam is very simple, factual and straightforward questions are asked. Secondly, they ask a sufficient number of questions from the current affairs. Thirdly, state-specific questions have a very low percentage and vary from state to state (UP/UK-15-20%, Rajasthan/Jharkhand-40-50% questions). So, no extra preparation is required. What is required? Learn the syllabus thoroughly and stick to the syllabus. Read the material topic wise and practice old questions. For Mains, try to understand the question, think over it and answer.

It depends on where you are at now. For an average student completely dedicated towards it, it will take nearly 2 years with the help of coaching.
